Rennes Looks to Strengthen Squad with Lazio’s Boulaye Dia
Rennes continues to navigate the summer transfer window as they seek to acquire Lazio centre-forward Boulaye Dia, aged 29, according to reports from Ouest-France. Despite having the dependable Estéban Lepaul in their squad, Rennes appears to lack sufficient attacking options as they prepare for a demanding season in both Ligue 1 and the Europa League.
Recent signings Issa Soumaré and Eliezer Mayenda have yet to find their rhythm, and the team has not effectively replaced Breel Embolo since his departure. Losing the Swiss international forward prompted Rennes to assess the transfer market once again.
Reports indicate that Rennes is currently engaged in negotiations to bring Boulaye Dia back to consistent first-team action. The former Reims striker experienced a challenging season in Rome, managing only 14 starts and contributing to just three goals.
Rennes are not done yet in this summer transfer window as they pursue a move for Lazio centre-forward Boulaye Dia (29), according to Ouest-France. Although they have the very reliable Estéban Lepaul in their ranks, Rennes look a bit short of personnel upfront for a campaign that will see them compete in Ligue 1 and in the Europa League. Signings Issa Soumaré and Eliezer Mayenda are yet to get into gears, and Rennes haven’t properly replaced Breel Embolo.
Parting ways with the Switzerland international centre-forward was always going to lead Rennes back into the transfer market. Ouest-France understands that Rennes are in active talks to offer Lazio striker Boulaye Dia a way back into regular first-team football. The former Reims centre-forward just had a season to forget in Rome, where he only started 14 games for three goal contributions.
